    They all have to work to survive. What would you say is the difference exactly?

        Huh? I’m asking you what your point is.

        You agree that they all have to work to survive, and are therefore working class.

        But, per your previous comment

        you’re the ones equating loggers and fishermen to sex workers

        So clearly, you think there is some categorical difference between loggers and fishermen, and sex workers and gang members. I’m asking you what you think that difference is.

        If you insist that I make a point, and if all you’re going to say the difference is is that one category “breaks the law”, then I’d argue that there is another difference: gang members necessarily have to hurt other people, while sex workers, loggers, and fishermen do not. I’d also ask you to consider what conditions lead to the creation of each of these vocations to begin with.
